U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler has announced full support for Title II reclassification of broadband and wireless providers following a failed attempt at a hybrid solution late last year.

The new laws--which have not been submitted to Congress--will regulate both broadband providers and wireless carriers, making them utilities of the state.

Similar to telephone providers, the polls and infrastructure will now be open for anyone to use. More important, internet providers won't be able to sell priority speeds to any company.

"These enforceable, bright-line rules will ban paid prioritization, and the blocking and throttling of lawful content and services," said Wheeler in a Wired article. "I propose to fully apply-for the first time ever-those bright-line rules to mobile broadband. My proposal assures the rights of internet users to go where they want, when they want, and the rights of innovators to introduce new products without asking anyone's permission."

There has been plenty of innovative ideas due to open and free internet access for all developers, allowing websites like Facebook, Google and Twitter to rise without having to pay for the luxury of growth.

Netflix has been the test subject of the "fast-lanes" by AT&T, Verizon and Comcast, all throttling Netflix's speeds until they cough up a few million for faster service to its 35 million U.S. customers.

Under this new law, Netflix will be protected by the 'common carrier' banner, forcing broadband providers to make all data packets equal, regardless of the content.

As expected, AT&T has already said it will fight the FCC in court over this reclassification, but given the broad agreements between Congress and the FCC over the internet, it is unlikely the reclassification will not pass.

Time Warner Cable apparently has a 97 percent profit margin on its high-speed internet,. Comcast, AT&T and Verizon have similar profit numbers, making it highly unlikely AT&T can cry foul on the FCC's move to stop any further monetization of the internet.
